I hand selected each of these books because they first and foremost present compelling, entertaining, re-readable stories—without being preachy, boring, or didactic. The lessons are there, but they’re delivered in a way that allows young readers to discover them on their own. This, to me, is the most powerful way to learn. Enjoy!
